We would like to introduce you to our in-house produced show:
‘Inishowen – a cultural celebration of music, song and dance’.
This is a great night out and includes a two course dinner followed by the show featuring the best local musicians, singers and dancers who bring you on a journey, through music, and let yourself be taken back to a time where life moved at a slower pace, and continue through the changes and then bring you right back up to the present day. There should be many foot tapping moments in store for
those who attend.

The Pyros – I Want You

Buncrana band The Pyros returned to Donegal last year to record a long awaited CD. The album, aptly titled “At Last” was recorded in the tiny town of Culdaff in the legendary McGrory’s Backroom Bar. This is a song from that CD mixed with pictures and video snippets from the band’s Irish tour of Christmas 2009.

Inishowen International Guitar Festival

The 1st Inishowen International Guitar Festival, three days of guitar heaven, took place in and around McGrory’s of Culdaff, Inishowen, north Donegal, on the weekend of 5 / 6 / 7 February 2010.

In the inaugural year we were delighted to present a wide spectrum of musical styles on both acoustic and electric guitars, from some of the foremost players and pickers in the world today.

Headlining was Jennifer Batten, instantly recognisable as the blonde lead guitarist in Michael Jackson’s band since 1989. Jennifer has also played and recorded extensively with Jeff Beck.

We had the rare combination of jazz and Nintendo tunes from Wim den Herder (Netherlands), Chet Atkins thumb-and-finger style from Gareth Pearson (Wales), bluegrass and beyond from Beppe Gambetta (Italy), acoustic blues from Johnny Dickinson (UK) and the exquisite Celtic fingerstyle of Clive Carroll.

Home-grown talent is equally represented by the mighty Henry McCullough, Arty McGlynn, Jerome McGlynn, Jimmy Smyth, Grainne Duffy, Paul Sherry, Paul Buckley, Percy Robinson and the Deans.

Culdaff Shore Angling

This competition is run under the asupices of IFSA and all participants must be members of affiliated clubs. Great day of sport and enjoyment.
This event is held in the last Sunday in November.

You can fish off the end of Bunagee Pier for small coalies, pollack and the odd mullet straight down the side of the quay wall.

Mackerel take feather rigs here and spinners. Casting baits out on to the open ground gives you the chance of dogfish, dabs, flounders and codling.
Off the rocks to the left of the pier you’ll take strap congers and huss on baits and good numbers of pollack on small jellyworms.
